Holiday Tree Warning
Site Update

If you still have unopened gifts hanging out under the Holiday Tree or haven't sent out all of your thank-yous yet (like me omg ;~;), be sure to take care of that by the end of this month! After February 28th at 11:59 p.m., Yasu will be clearing out the tree--and will return any unopened gifts to their senders.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!

As a brief aside, you'll probably notice me catching up on a lot of stuff this weekend. The area that I live in got hit with some bad winter weather over the last week or so and I've been fighting with no power/Internet, being stuck at my job, and my house actually has no heat right now. XD So thank you for bearing with me!
Be sure to check out all of the updates below as well. :3

Send Back Some Love
Site Update

You now have the option to "Send Back Some Love" to those that have sent you Love Letters!
If the button appears under the sender's username, that means you have not yet sent that person a letter. If there is no button available, that means the user has already received a letter from you.
Hope this helps in your love-bombing adventures! :3
(We are also working on adding a forum option in for even easier sending.)

Custom Helpers Wanted
Site Update
Earlier today we rapidly cleared the entire custom queue to start "fresh" with an empty queue. As a result, please be aware that you should not judge whether a custom was necessarily appropriate for that item based on whether it passed or not - only egregiously unacceptable pets were rejected from the queues to make for this fresh start.
(EG: If a custom passed under Blue CC today, don't assume that future customs made on those lines will.)
Applications for the volunteer job of custom queue helper are available here. We will need volunteers to help with the overlays so Graymare can process customs faster now that we have the queue down to zero.
Provided we get reliable helpers, we should be able to keep the queues moving quickly. Anyone interested is encouraged to apply for the job.

Cross Site Trading: PSA
Site Update
This is another PSA about cross site trading (trading Aywas content for content on other sites).
There is a rising amount of scamming being done regarding cross site trading. This generally involves trade with a site that does not have very good customer service for scams.
If you are doing any trading for Aywas stuff, tell the person with the Aywas content to send it first. If they are offering you GP, items, pets, etc. for your off-site stuff, you must ask them to send it first for both parties to be completely protected. Otherwise, if you send your off-site items/pets/etc first, and that person does not have the content to send you, you will not be able to receive any assistance from Aywas Staff.
Unfortunately a number of sites do not protect their users or recover scammed materials so make sure you get your Aywas content in your account first before you send off any offsite content.
Aywas staff CANNOT HELP YOU if you lose your stuff offsite. And if the offsite staff is not helpful, you will lose out completely. Be proactive and trade safely by asking for Aywas content first.
